Smith’s customers reportedly experience the shortest average wait of any major grocery store Р on average 28 seconds, thanks to use of infrared laser technology that is coordinated with in-store software, the press release said.

Heat sensitive cameras interpret shopping time required, and that prepares the store to have the appropriate number of check stands open to reduce customers’ wait time.

Smith’s has grocery and drug stores in Bountiful, Farmington, Layton, Syracuse and Sunset. It maintains a regional office and plant in Layton.

Smith’s isn’t alone in taking groceries digital. Kroger has a similar app, as do Fred Meyer, Food 4 Less, Sprouts, Walmart and Target.

The majority of these apps, like the Smith’s app, allow pictures and videos to be taken with the phone’s camera without the user’s permission, according to information from the Android store. The apps also require access to information about the phone user’s location.
